felt as if could weep tears Of blood.
On one side the pulpit sat his little child OF
s years, sweet, beautiful little girl, that I
had seen him hug convulsively in his better
moments. He put Oh her all jewels, all dia-
monds, and gave her all pictures and toys,
and then he would go away, as if bounded by
an evil spirit to his cups and the house Of
shams-a fool to the correction of the stocks.
She looked UP wonderingly. She knew not
what it all meant. She was not old enough
to understand the sorrow of an orphan child.
On the other side the pulpit sat the men
who had ruined him; they were the men who
had poured the wormwood into the orphans
cup; they were the men who had bound him
hand and foot. knew them How did they
seem to feel3 Did they weep? No. Did
they say: "What pity that so generous a
man should be destroyed" No. Did they
sigh repentingly over what they had done2
No; they sat there, looking as vultures look
at the carcass of a lamb whose heart they
have ripped out. So they sat and looked at
the coffin lid, and 1 told them the Judgment
of God upon those who had destroyed their
fellows. Did they reform? l was told they
were in the places of iniquity that night after
my friend was laid in OaE wood cemetery,
and they blasphemed and they drank Obi

comfort or help. Look to God.
But there is q man who will not reform
He says: II won't reform" Well then,
how many acts are there in a tragedy? be-
lleve five.
Act the first of the tragedy: A young man
starting off from home; parents and sisters
weeping to have him so. Wagon rising over
the hill. Farewell kiss flung back. Ring the
bell and let tie curtain fall.
Act the second: The marriage altar Full
| organ. Bright lights. Long white veil trail
ing through the aisle. Prayer and congratu-
! lation, and exclamation of "How well she
! looks!"
Act the third: A woman waiting for stag
| gering steps. Old garments stuck into the
broken window-pane. Marks of hardship on
the face. The biting of the nails of bloodless
fingers Neglect, and cruelty, and despair
Ring the bell and let the curtain drop.
Act the fourth: Three graves in a dark
place-grave of the child that died for lack of
medicine, grave of the wife that died of a
broken heart, grave of the man that died of
dissipation. Oh! what blasted heath with
three graves Plenty Of weeds, but no
| flowers. Ring the bell and let the curtain
drop.

Rachel's death blow was dealt by her
performance i'll Lies Horaces" at the
Walnut Street theatre in Philadelphia
when the thermometer was several
degrees below zero, and when not Il fire
was lighted in the house except in the
stars dressing room. Bat Raphael
Felix, the brother of Rachel, was to
blame for that catastrophe. He had
taken the theatre in its entirety, Gsslm-
ing all the expenses of heating, lighting,
ETC., and he thought it probably mas
ter stroke of economy to suppress the
furnace fires, or possibly he did not
trouble his head about them. But
Rachel awoke the next morning, easping
with pneumonia, and his saving in fuel
resulted ultimately in the death OF his
great sister. was present at that last
representation, and | shall never forget
it. The cold was intense in the house as
well as ON the stage. Opposite me sat
Mrs. James Rush, then the acknowledged
leader of Philadelphia society, wrapped
in an immense erminc cloak, and she
told me afterward that even in spite of
that fur garment she suffered for DAYS
afterward from bronchitis caught on
that occasion. A young Philadelphia
society beauty, debutanto of the season
before, caught, like Rachel herself, a
fatal cold, and died before the winter

It is well known, of course, that Amer
lea has long been celebrated the world
over as the home of enormous crystals,
and the prodigious specimens of apatite,
beryl and other minerals have been the
subject of wonderment. But among these
the crystals of spodumene brought to view
by the excavations in the Eta tin mine,
in Pennington county, D. T., are believed
to be without rival in respect to size.
According to the report made on this
subject by Professor Blake, it appears
that one of these crystals is thirty six
feet in length in straight line, and from
one to three feet in thickness. The cleav-
age is smooth and straight, but the lateral
ard terminal planes are described as being
obscure.-New York Sun.

The empress Of Russia has quite as
vigorous IN appetite as any member of
her family could boast of. But she is an
indefatigable dancer, often tiring down
all the aides de camp admitted TO her
dancing parties, and she accompanies the
czar in his walks and rides. This keeps
her in health. If one eats heartily and
does not take it out in strong physical
exertion the ills to which flesh is heir

The ivory for knives is sawed by re-
ciprocating saws, fed with water, and is
then exposed for several days to the sun
light, under glass, to bleach it. The
handles are weighted by means of a piece
of lead wire inside of them, and the
hole in which the wire and the tang of
the blade are placed is lined with white
cement, to prevent the dark metal from
showing through the semitransparent
ivory. Before the handles receive their
final finish they are smoked, and scraper
is run over them and detects any slight
depressions. They are finished with
whiting on soft felt wheels. s.-Boston

The natives always use burros for
carrying mesquite, and they trudge be-
hind ON foot. There is something very
pathetic about the four footed inhabi-
tants of Mexico. The sight of the plead
ing look in the eyes of burro nearly
makes me weep, He always looks 50
downtrodden, SO meek, SO contemplative.
Their ponies excite equal sympathy.
They wear their heads low-very low
and thoy always have burrs in their tails.
To me there is something appealing
about a horse with burrs in his tail, be-
cause l cannot imagine high spirited
horse, one who had an atom of family
pride or self respect, having them there.

The Honey Bird of South Africa.

We came to a large piece of timber,
and while passing through it L had my
first experience with the honey bird of
South Africa. The curious little bird is,
in size and plumage about like an English
sparrow, and gets his name from the fact
that the little fellow, who is very fond Of
honey, being unable to obtain it for HIM
self, viii lead men to the places where
the wild bees have hidden their stores of
rich, wild honey. Whenever this bird
sees man he will fly close to him, how
ering around, uttering twittering sound;
then he will go off in the direction of the
place generally tree where the honey
is, flying backward and forward in zig
gag fashion. Then back he will come,
twittering in the same manner, as If to
say ''Come along; I'll show you where it
is" These actions are repeated until the
tree is reached, when the bird viii midi
cate it very plainly by flying to it and
lowering around it. While the bees are
being smoked out and the honey taken
up the bird will hover in the vicinity
until the job is done, when of course his
reward comes in the shape of feast on
the fragments that are left.-American

An ingenious Buffalo man has invented
a device which he thinks will prevent the
spread of fire through elevator shafts.
His idea is to erect a stand pipe in one
corner of tho shaft with branches of per-
forated pipe of smaller size surrounding
the well at esch floor. The water can be
turned into each Of these perforated pipes
simultaneously by simply pulling lever
at a point remote from the elevator, thus
filling the shaft with shower of spray,
which, he thinks, will check the flames
at that point. York Sun.

The DemOraIized English Army.

During last year no less than 5000

Money in Juvenile Books.

A gentleman associated with a Boston
publishing house said: Literature of q
high class seldom pays anything. The
most money is made in juvenile books.
Our house paid last year about $1,000 to
one person who gets up juvenile editions,
A theme is given him and he goes to the
public library and finds what he wants,
and between his pen, his paste and his
scissors he makes up book which brings
much higher price than books of the

at good fat rate for Christmas times. ="

In the presence of the khedive and
several French officers, the Wizard of
El Kahra" thrice repeated the trick of
making handful of transparent balls
vanish in mid air in plain daylight. The
missiles were colorless and pellucid like
white glass, but as light as gum, and
were repeatedly submitted to the examin-
alton of the spectators. After passing
them from hand to hand, the wizard put
them in an open vessel, shaped somewhat
like short handled dipper, and leaning
back till his outstretched arm nearly
touched the ground, he flung them straight
up in the air, where they could be seen
glittering for a moment like icicles or
large glass pearls. But nobody saw them
fall down again, though the scene of the
experiment was a large, level lawn; the
air seemed to have absorbed them like
globes of dissolving vapor. Could they
have evaporated or dissolved into spray
of minute particles? Quicksilver scatters
that way, but would descend in hail of
v4ry perceptible drops. A sleight of hand
trick was clearly out of the question,
though more tenable explanation would
have puzzled chemist as much as an
optician.-Felix L. Oswald in Cincinnati

Iincoln,s OLD Sill Hat.

The old silk hat worn by Abraham
Lincoln when he left Springfield, Ills,
for Washington to be inaugurated, in
1861, is carefully preserved in this city.
1t is an antique tile now when compared
with the latest Broadway ''dicers, and
it is but fair to presume that it was by no
means youthful when its owner set out
on that memorable ride to greatness and
renown. The fortunate possessor of this
hat is Mr.. George Gibson, and it came
to him from his father. 1t is a badly
battered and sorrowful looking old
''stovepipe, with straight, narrow brim,
and full Of dents and creases, such as
might be expected III a hat given to mid
night roysterings; but in this case they
are partially the result of honest wear in
years past and careless handling since it
was put aside as a relic.
On the side lining, in the clear, well
known hand Of the great president, is the
autograph, ga. Lincoln" and stamped
in the crown is the usual gilt advertise
ment Of the Springfield halter with
whom ''honest old Abe" was wont to
trade. When Mr.. Lincoln arrived in
New York he wore this hat, and its gen.
orally demoralized and ruflled expression
did not fully comport with the dignity of
the occasion. An enterprising halter,
discovering a splendid opportunity to ad-
vertise his goods, had a fine, stylish hat
made for the president elect, having Sc
cured a contour of his head. Then, as
Mr.. Lincoln was driven down Broadway
from the Astor house, his headquarters
during his brief sojourn here, the halter
presented the new hat, taking the old one
in exchange. Eventually it passed into
the possession of Mr.. George Gibson s
father, well known antiquarian and
stained glass artist. For years the hat
rested under a glass receiver in the mu
scum attached to the factory of the elder
! Gibson, uptown, and has attracted at
tention. Many offers have been made
for its purchase, but Mr.. Gibson prefers
to retain the relic, which carries much of
the personality Of the great president. 1t
should be in the National museum, at
Washington. York Times.

If e'er goat should don the gorgeous garb
Beneath which erstwhile pulsed the fiery heart
OF Bengal tiger or, if some swift barb
Should down the regal lion, throwing on the
mart
The mantle of his glory, to be bought
And donned by geaklings-oh, believe me, still
Remains the goat goat; the weakling naught
From borrowed plumes has gained. A thrill
Of horror for the saerilege is felt!
Small soul, refrain! Ape not some splendid he,
Whose glory is his glory. Earth shall melt
In fervent heat ere such as thou canst see
The extent OF all its full orbed majesty.
